Amazing - must be seen and experianced!! Recommend to learn a bit of history before you og there. Cambodia is a lovely country - quite poor but a friendly and smiling People. The Mekong is very exiting to explore - just been there.

We hired the tuk tuk that picked us up from the airport , If you are comfortable walking then he will take you to Angor Wat , Angor Tom ( Bayon Temple ) , Ta Prom and Banteay Srei all in one day , so you can complete them in a day pass ( $20 per day ) and the next day you can do Beng Mealea the next day . The tuk tuk rental for the first day was $39 and I think it is $ 40 to visit Beng Mealea . The price list for tuk tuk will be in the room or the font desk can provide it., if you are solo you have the option to take the mini bus etc .. check with the front desk.The name if my driver was Toluah and his number is 0886644479. I stayed close to Pub StreetWe had to leave early to see the sunset ( 5 am ) , it will be crowded but I think you can miss this if you don't want a sun rise picture with the temple in backdrop , its mostly a photo event.However get there early say around 6 am so you still get the sunrise and can complete the temple before the crowd decends

We did Angkor Wat by ourselves. No guide, no tuk tuk. We just hired bikes and cycled up there at 5am for sunrise. The ride itself was atmospheric: like a pilgrimage of bikes and vehicles in the pitch black. Then everyone crowded through the main entrance but we sat on the wall outside, and got some fabulous pics. Yes you are knackered, but it's a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed.

We took a group tour for $11 per person and it is an additional $20 for a one day pass. Our bus picked us up at 5 am to get there to see the sunrise, but it was overcast so that didn't work out as planned and lead to a really long day as the temples don't open until 7:45. In between the guide took us to an over priced breakfast on site with horrible coffee. The guide was not extremely knowledgable. And because there were 10 people in our group, we spent so much time at each temple, it ended up being a 7 hour trip.

That being said, there are so many better ways to see the temple. If you want to go to see the sunrise, check the weather and make sure the sun is going to rise!

I would look into renting bikes and getting a guide book and creating your own tour. Or get a private guide and go on your own tour on your own time.

Eat breakfast before you go, don't waste your money on the overpriced food on site.

Make sure you are dressed appropriately. You must have at least a t shirt and shorts down to the knees to enter all areas. Ladies, they will try to sell you scarves to cover yourself so you can get in, but that's a scam, you need a full blown shirt, covering with a scarf won't cut it.

Beware of the horses. They got into a fight while we were there and broke off their chains and started running free! It was awesome but slightly scary!

Amazing sights to see, I just wish I had approached it differently.
